Siberian C Peach
Very cold hardy peach comes true from seed and is used as a rootstock in cold regions, as well as for their tasty peaches that can be grown where most other varieties freeze out. Said to make the richest flavored peach juice and are excellent dried. They are very productive of yellow skinned...

Two may rich I mean swamp peach trees. They bloomed 2 weeks late this spring, they most likely will be june rich swamp peach.
Working up hill a little bit is red haven
Seedling peach (itty bitty) picture was blurry. I did figure this tree out this spring. It's crazy confused... it bloomed twice. First bloom it set larger peaches on last years wood like a normal peach. Then it bloomed a second time on older wood and what looks like to me short nubby spurs and set itty bitty peaches. FB and I thinned out all the itty bitty peaches and left the large ones. We'll get a taste test and see if we'll keep it or not. That's the thing with seeds, you really don't know what you'll end up with.
Up hill a little more is reliance, kind of interested to see what a reliance peach taste like. Mixed reviews on reliance, we shall see...
At the top of the hill is loring, I guess I didn't get a picture of loring. We got to sample 1 loring peach last year. It's a large peach, thick skinned not all that good for eating out of hand. But FB and I both think it would make a good canning peach in light syrup.
It's shaping up to be a good peach year here in the heart land.
